The state of our house - the next Sunday night

So a LOT happened this week. We got our floors and cabinets installed. We have a working bathroom on the main floor! The tile in the bath is finished, and the tile is cut and ready for the laundry/mud room. The counter top was templated and the pantry door went in. Most of the light fixtures have been installed as well. It sounds like we are almost done, but there are still plenty of little things left.

We need the crown molding installed, all appliances installed, trim and crown molding to put up, towel bars and toilet paper holders to put in, trim work around the window needs to be done, the counter tops need to be installed, lighting needs to be installed, we need to touch up the paint, grout needs to go in the laundry room, the back splash needs to go in, and we need to move the fridge, washer and dryer back in. I am sure there are more things. And then we get to move everything back into the kitchen, and furniture into the dining room! But it is awesome to come home everyday and see the progress.

Here is some of what we are seeing.

The dining room with floors and paint. (No trim though, and tape still up on the ceiling.)

Living room. The tree now even has a tree skirt.

You can see some of the foyer.

The foyer, with the grey kitchen in the background. I wish you could also see the bathroom blue. The colors look awesome next to each other. At some point the foyer and hall will become the light grey that is in the mud room.

I just love the kitchen grey. Kevin picked out the color. It complements the wood well.

We have a door (but no knob) on the pantry! (We are getting fancy.)

At least the trim is going up on the cabinets. Not so much on the walls.

Light fixture over the peninsula. Another one of Kevin's finds.

The bathroom works! Yea! But we are all used to going upstairs so it isn't getting used much just yet. The mirror, paper holder and towel bars still need to go up.

We made the bathroom small by about 14 inches. Some people were worried it was going to be too small, but I think it is just fine! The shape of the old bathroom was weird and wasted space, and had the toilet by the door so that is all you saw when the door was open. Who wants to see a toilet?

Still no range (it is in the garage)...

... no sink (it is at the counter top place)...

... and no oven (it is in Texas).

The tile is down! Just needs thin set and grout.

Current view from kitchen into the dining room.

It looks like a family room again! We still have the table of tools and stuff behind the couch, but at least we can walk through the room now.

I always hand mistletoe in the house, but haven't this year. So it is sitting in a bowl with the dishes. Gwyn likes to carry it around to make me kiss her, or hand it to people she wants to see kiss. Pretty cute kid.
